“Altium is committed to delivering data management technology that provides greater value and a richer design experience for users,” said Marc Depret, senior product manager for design capture and design data management for Altium. “We recognize the importance of having clear visibility of components - in terms of cost and availability – and the impact it has on a designer’s decisions.”

Centralized Supply Chain Data Management
The Altium Vault Server now can be linked to a company’s internal electronic component database, providing designers with a sound view of each component’s supply chain data. Such a connection allows designers to leverage existing electronic component data to make component choices and design decisions with a clear insight into component cost and availability.

Enhanced Vault Search
The Vault data searching interface has been significantly improved. By adding support for intelligent parametric searching and advanced result filtering and grouping, designers can now view devices and design data (schematics and other project files) according to their characteristics.

Support for ActiveBOM
Coupled with Altium Designer’s new ActiveBOM editor, Designers are able to analyze and understand supply chain implications of electronic component choices. Armed with this supply chain clarity assists organizations to successfully bring electronic products to market using a design-to-cost approach.
